But where does the “foodtruck” craze come from? The very first to see the light of day was born in 1872 on Rhodes Island in the United States. Back then, it was a wooden wagon pulled by horses. We had to wait until 2011 for the concept to arrive in France. The success was immediate, so much so that a festival was born in Saint-Maur. Here’s our list of the best foodtrucks in Paris for you to enjoy!
